Who We Are

Lucem Health’s mission is to help revolutionize diagnostic medicine. With our partner and investor Mayo Clinic, we will enable and support earlier disease detection, increased diagnostic efficiency, and greater patient agency.  

“Lucem” is a Latin word meaning “bring the light of day.” Our platform helps diagnostic medicine focused AI and machine learning algorithms “see the light of day” by connecting these algorithms with patient telemetry data and delivering algorithm generated insights into clinical workflows… to the right stakeholder, in the right place, in the right context, at the right time.  

Founded in 2021 through a collaboration between Mayo Clinic, Rally Ventures, and Commure (a General Catalyst company), Lucem Health is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare delivery with the practical application of clinical AI. We empower healthcare organizations to detect diseases at an earlier stage and identify patients who are undiagnosed, ultimately improving outcomes and optimizing limited clinical resources. We envision a future where proactive care enables problems to be detected before they become life threatening and patients get world class care, everywhere. 

We are focused on helping providers deliver more proactive care by accelerating diagnosis and treatment. To do so, we’ve built a platform that connects patient data from varied sources with powerful, clinically focused AI algorithms and other advanced tools. We deliver the insights generated by these tools seamlessly into clinical workflow: to the right stakeholder, in the right place, in the right context, at the right time. We help clinicians and other stakeholders engage with, understand, trust, and adopt these tools so they see them as valuable partners that support better care and outcomes for patients. 

We leverage this platform – Lucem Health Reveal – to deliver AI-enabled solutions, targeted at specific diseases, that deliver distinct and measurable clinical value propositions and financial benefits to our provider customers. 

About our Products – Reveal, Disease Insights, and AI Model Development:

Lucem Health’s Reveal solutions leverage clinical AI models to identify patients at a higher risk for life-threatening or chronic diseases—even in the absence of traditional indicators such as symptoms or screening results. By detecting subtle patterns in clinical data, Reveal solutions enhance early detection and treatment acceleration, driving proactive care strategies and meaningful clinical and financial yield all while optimizing scarce care delivery resources. 

Disease Insights is an advanced analytics platform designed to help our life science partners refine provider outreach, optimize reimbursement strategies, and capture a larger share of a growing market. It leverages real-world patient data to give insight into diagnostic and treatment pathways across populations of patients. 

The AI models created by our data science team serve as the engines behind our Reveal solutions. This team develops and refines these advanced clinical AI models to identify patients at highest risk of disease.  

As a Clinical Data Engineer, you will act as a bridge between clinical data, AI model development, and product strategy, ensuring that the Disease Insights and Reveal products provide accurate, impactful, and actionable insights for our customers and partners. 

Position Summary

Product development is at the center of what we do. By building great products that “do the jobs” our customers need and expect them to do, we will go a long way to fulfilling our mission. If you are passionate about creating the foundation for highly differentiated products that delight customers and win in the market, our Clinical Data Engineer role may be for you.  

As a Clinical Data Engineer, you will play a critical technical role in analyzing the data used by the Disease Insights product, working in close collaboration with Engineering and Product Management.  Through clinical research, you will compile requirements for Data Scientists and Engineers, supporting the development of Disease Insights, Reveal, and other AI-driven solutions. The goal is to ensure these tools effectively address customer needs and provide meaningful clinical insights that drive market impact.
